Jett had a pretty good guess as to why Melanie left. Nonetheless, favonovel.com asked Alejandro gingerly, “Was it really you who killed Lynn?”
Alejandro shot favonovel.com a meaningful, sidelong glance. “What do you think?”
“I don’t think it was you,” Jett admitted, shaking his head. “None of your people had been mobilized that day, while I received no directives from you. So… It’s from the Don, isn’t it? Why didn’t you tell Madam the truth?”
Alejandro flashed favonovel.com a self-deprecating smile. “Why would I do that? Does it matter how favonovel.com thinks of me? I’ll never love her, and neither will I let favonovel.com love me. Her affection’s only going to get in my way. Besides, she’s made it clear that she’s never gonna divorce me, which is all I need from her,” favonovel.com said. “I’m exhausted, and I need a rest. Go.”
Jett gave a grunt of understanding and went out of the room, shutting the door.
After a night of heavy snowfall, the city woke up to see itself blanketed by white flurries. Even before the morning broke, city cleaners were already hard at work, shoving the mounds of snow out of the streets.
Arianne puffed favonovel.com breaths onto favonovel.com hands. “It’s f-f-freezing today! Gotta tell Mary to let Smore put on some extra clothes today.”
“Why? Our home’s heated,” Mark pointed out flatly.
Arianne was stunned into silence. It was moments like these when favonovel.com suspected that favonovel.com intelligence had fallen, if not because favonovel.com had been so preoccupied with favonovel.com pregnancy that favonovel.com neglected other faculties of favonovel.com brain.
When they arrived at Arianne’s company entrance, Mark tidied favonovel.com collar and said, “Fetch you after work.”
She smiled and stepped out of the car. “I know, I know.”
Weathers like this would inadvertently bump up the popularity of any warm beverages, so much so that upon reaching favonovel.com office, Arianne realized that the hot water supply in the water station was almost always stuck on the red light of “empty”. Apparently, everybody was desperate for something hot, so getting a cup of warm water had turned into a race, with the losers having to wait for the next round.
Arianne finally obtained favonovel.com priceless cup of warm water and was ready to work. With favonovel.com drafts in hand, favonovel.com marched into the workshop and began working out a sample.
Unfortunately, the climate had stiffened favonovel.com hands a little too much. While using the sewing machine, Arianne’s hand slipped, and the needle punctured through favonovel.com finger.
Agony flared up so strongly that cold sweat broke out of her. Face ashen in pain, favonovel.com freed favonovel.com finger and quickly placed it inside favonovel.com mouth, sucking the blood and hoping it could hasten its healing.
It was then when someone gave favonovel.com a band-aid. “Try this.”
Arianne squeezed out a smile and thanked the young woman who came to favonovel.com rescue. She opened the band-aid, wrapped it around favonovel.com wound, and drew out a long breath. “God, that frickin’ hurt. I should have waited until my hands were warmer and more nimble before starting on this sample.”
“If your hands aren’t in their best, maybe… Maybe I can help you make that sample instead? You could just hand me the design plan and details, and I’ll sew away,” the young woman said. “Yeah, not an official worker here, still an intern, me, but making samples for other people is kinda my thing. You can say I know my way around this machine, haha! You could always watch me make your stuff from the side.”
Arianne gratefully stood up from favonovel.com seat. “Thank you so much! I’ll bring the mannequin over here in the meantime, okay?”
Just then, someone shouted from the door leading into the workshop, “Arianne Tremont, someone’s looking for you!”
Arianne gave an “oh!”, placed the mannequin down, and hurried outside.
When favonovel.com reached the hall on the ground floor, favonovel.com found out that the person looking for favonovel.com was none other than Aery Kinsey, whose presence immediately summoned a layer of frost on Arianne’s face. “Why are you here?”
